Albert Einstein College of Medicine received a $252,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), effective May 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. The grant supports a 12-week pilot randomized controlled trial (DEMURE Trial) investigating the efficacy and safety of dronabinol (synthetic THC) combined with epidiolex (cannabidiol) as an adjunct treatment to buprenorphine for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) who experience protracted withdrawal symptoms and continued opioid use or cravings despite buprenorphine initiation. The study will enroll 40 participants early in buprenorphine treatment and evaluate treatment retention as the primary outcome, with secondary measures including opioid use reduction, withdrawal symptom severity, pain severity, and adverse event monitoring. The grant deliverables include rigorous clinical trial data examining the mechanism by which cannabinoid adjunct therapy improves OUD treatment outcomes, with findings intended to inform the design and power calculations for a future R01 competitive renewal grant. This pilot research addresses the critical public health challenge of fentanyl-driven opioid overdose deaths by testing pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid products to improve treatment efficacy in a vulnerable population experiencing protracted withdrawal symptoms that can persist for six months or longer.Federal Grant Award Summary
